Used as a crosslinking agent in polymer chemistry, particularly in the synthesis of functionalized resins and epoxy curing systems. Its dual imidazole groups enable coordination with metal ions, making it useful in catalysis and metal-organic frameworks. Also applied in the development of antimicrobial coatings due to the inherent bioactivity of imidazole derivatives. Serves as a building block in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals for constructing nitrogen-rich heterocyclic compounds.
